Brain-Jitsu

Brain-Jitsu is a CBBC show which tests 'Brainees' to complete a set of challenges using different parts of their brains.It starts at 7.30 and finishes at 8.30 on BBC2 and the CBBC channel on weekdays.

Characters:
* The Sensei
* Contestants - 'brainees'
* The Shihan - Task Watcher

Belts and Levels:(when they play the game(first round)they get the white belt which all contestants get even if they fail the first level)
* Level 1 - "Yellow Belt" - This level uses the Occipital Lobes of the Brain. The task here is always "Enter the Dojo".
* Level 2 - "Orange Belt" - This level uses the Frontal Lobes; taking something you'd normally do without thinking, and doing it differently.
* Level 3 - "Green Belt" - This level requires the brainees to get into teams of two, stengthening their focus by working one half of their brains under pressure, since it's, as the Sensei explains, the left half which deals with the details and the right half which looks at the overall picture.
* Level 4 - "Blue Belt" - This level requires the brainees to master the Amygdala.
* Level 5 - "Red Belt" - This level exercises the thinking part of the brain, the Cerebrum, and the doing part, the Cerebellum.
* Level 6 - "Brown Belt" - This level requires the brainees to use their Occipital Lobes, the Temporal Lobes and the Cerebellum.
* Level 7 - "Black Belt" - Aim for all contestants. This final challenge is a measurement of mental focus by using a ball to represent the average amount of brain waves used during the challenge. The further away the ball is, the more focus they have.

Typical tasks include: "Lantern Whack, Number Crack; Spell Backwards, Step Forward" and the final task "Table Of Supreme Focus." There are also exclusives such as "Creepy Crawly, Word Grab" which is exclusive to the Blue Belt level. When two people tie for last place, there is a second level to see who goes out. This involves challenges like the "stare off" or "chopstick,number pick".

Between each level, contestants get the chance to prepare themselves for the challenge ahead in "The Room Of Mental Nourishment". They are given a challenge to train the part of the brain needed for the next level. The brainees are given the choice whether to participate or not, but any extra training they do prepares them for the task ahead.
